Hi, there I am again!



Even if JayJay only writes encouraging comments to me, (at this point, MANY LOVELY THANKS) I am not giving up and hope that even more of you will be carried away to comment.



So here's the new part, I really hope it's worthy of your statement!





IX.



"What else do I have to take care of?", Freya trudged through Camelot, completely annoyed, "Did you just lie on the lazy skin while I was away, or what?" "Please Terra, uh ... Freya, sorry, reg Don't get upset, it doesn't look that bad, and besides, we couldn't have guessed that chaos would return. "Titania tried to calm her down. "So what? What kind of a lame excuse? Have you looked around? The defensive is catastrophic, most of them don't even last 5 minutes and the weapons are out of date. How can you attack the chaos when the defense doesn't work?" ?What did you guys do all the time? "" It was all peaceful. Chaos was defeated and the demons had unstable leadership. So what should we be concerned about? Instead, we had the opportunity to rebuild everything and lead a peaceful life. Take a look around. Culture flourishes, everyone has enough to live on and is satisfied. Times have never been so good because we've never had peace for so long. "" And that didn't make you wonder? Experience has shown that you always have to reckon with some kind of difficulties! "" Yes, we understand that, but we were convinced that our strength would be sufficient in an emergency. "In the meantime they were both on the walls of Camelot. Freya skeptically ran her hand over an old cannon, which then began to crumble. With a ´I´-thought-myself-look´ she stepped lightly with the tip of her foot in front of an adjacent catapult that immediately creaked ominously."It can only be a stupid joke. Titania, please, tell me that there is at least one more usable weapon here." Freya looked pleadingly at her friend. But she just shook her head. "Great, very great. Chaos is stronger and we have become weaker, as I have to find out. In other words, it looks damn dark for us." "But our magic has evolved, isn't that enough?" "For the earth spirits Maybe, but what do the people do? They also belong to the Alliance and will certainly fight again. Without sensible weapons, however, they have no chance. "Shaking her head, Freya left the wall and went into the courtyard. Titania followed anxiously. Why had they neglected everything so? They had been too sure of their peace and now faced bigger problems than ever before. In fact, it was so bad that they brought Terra back. That alone clearly proved their inability to defend themselves.One had hoped everything would become easier with Terra, but instead Titania became more and more aware of how complicated everything was.

“There you are!” Oberon came up to the two of them. "I've been looking for you all over the place. I have just received reports that the god of blacksmithing, Vulkan, is able to equip us with new weapons in a very short time that Ares plans to design especially for combat." "Finally good news Titania breathed out. "Yes, but it was about time. Oberon, how long will it be before we can issue the first weapons?" "Vulkan promised me that he would do his best and he also has a lot of helpers, so I think that it can only be a matter of hours. "" When do you expect Chaos' attack? "" We have no idea when he wants to appear here. ", Freya looked at Oberon with wide eyes. "Wait a minute, very slowly. We don't know when the most dangerous enemy on earth will show up here?" "No." answered Titania, "All we know is that he will arrive here in the near future.It is not even possible for us to find its exact position. We only feel that it is moving towards us. “Freya couldn't believe what she was hearing.” Chaos could attack us at any time and we can neither defend nor fight back. "Oberon and Titania nodded." We can make our will right away. You know what, you go and make sure that everything is put into increased readiness for action. I want everyone to be at their posts in half an hour at the latest. I go to the library and look again at the battle reports from last time, who knows, maybe I'll have a flash of thought and I will come up with a sure-fire plan. "The subliminal sarcasm in their last words made Oberon and Titania clear once again what a bad situation they were in. As Freya entered Camelot's main building, they both looked at each other sadly." Our chances are zero, aren't we?", Titania asked her husband quietly." Don't look at everything so black. I am sure Freya will find a solution that will help us in the battle. "" You are referring to ´Elementum´, I'm right. ", meaningfully looked Oberon Titania in the eyes." Do you think she still remembers her sword? "" I don't know, but I'm quite sure that there is someone who will take care of it. Come on now, we have instructions to follow. "Without waiting any longer, Oberon and Titania went to Vulkan to inquire about the weapons.



"Nothing, nothing and again nothing. It is desperate!" Freya was already rummaging through the umpteenth pile of records without finding any useful information.

But there had to be something that could help her get an efficient plan off the ground. Being an earth spirit wasn't as cool in a long time as she thought it was at the beginning.As Terra she had a really hard time, everyone seemed to expect so much from her. Slowly, Freya thought she had an inkling of why she decided back then to prefer to live as a human being. What was she doing here? Just because the other earth spirits were unable to sort out the problem with chaos alone, they simply brought Terra back, as if everything would then dissolve in favor, only that Freya now had all the work on her neck. She was nothing more than a normal earth spirit, so why did everyone think that she, apparently the only one, would be able to lead the Alliance to a victory? What was the difference between her and the others? She would have loved to toss everything and march home. If the other earth spirits were racking their brains in search of a solution, in itself she had nothing to do with it either, since she expressed her wish before the forces of the universe.
“Can I help you?” Freya turned around, shocked. "Merlin! Never sneak up on me like that again! Did we get along? You could have a heart attack." "Sorry, it wasn't an intention to scare you to death." Freya just waved her off. "It's okay, Merlin. But tell me, where have you been? After we left the ruins of the old temple, you were suddenly gone."

Before the wizard could begin to answer, he was interrupted.

“Merlin was with me.” Freya looked confused at the front door of the library. Who was that? Somehow he looked familiar, but she couldn't place him anywhere. There was something terrifying about the sound of his voice and it seemed to make the room shake.

Freya would have preferred to back away a bit, but behind her was the table with all the documents and so she had no inconspicuous escape.

“It is better if you go, Merlin.” “But, my lord, should I not stay?I could ... "" Be silent! You couldn't do anything! I don't need you here so go make yourself useful in some way. Renew a few wards or do something else, I don't care, the main thing is that you make sure that we are not disturbed. "" As you wish. "With a short bow, Merlin left the library and closed the door behind him.

"What is that? Who are you? And why does Merlin behave towards you as if you were his boss?" Freya had recovered and was eagerly awaiting the answers to her questions. "Do you just say you don't recognize me? Now I'm seriously offended." With an enigmatic grin, he stepped closer to Freya. She looked at him uncertainly. “William.” It was more of a guess than a statement. He had changed, or Freya just hadn't noticed that side of him. “Bravo, the candidate gets 50 points.” “And why not 100?” This guessing game really got on Freya’s nerves."Now just say, Oberon didn't tell you anything more about me? He's always a chatterbox." Slowly he walked up to Freya, who was already feeling a certain urge to flee, ran past her and threw a short one Look at the documents with which Freya had just been intensively concerned. While William was doing his laps in the library, Freya never let him out of her sight.

“Weren't you surprised that it was just me who brought you to Oberon?” “Wondered, but I had other things to do than my time pondering about a macho who would like - would like - to disappear." "On I would take care of your position, as I express myself, because you are not the only one who has a higher position here. ”“ That means? ”Freya interrupted him. "You are standing in front of Beelzebub, the prince of hell. Don't look so shocked, somebody will have told you about me."
"Titania tried to tell me something about hell and you, but we were interrupted by the Archangel Michael." "So then the short form. I expressed the same wish as you and was born again as a person. Should never actually know anything about it , but then they got the big flutter in hell because of chaos and took me back. Blah blah blah, at least I found out that the earth spirits needed you again and offered me to look for you. They agreed immediately, after all, we are yes allies and such. Well and you know the rest of that. "

Freya gave William a rather over-eyed look. "Any other questions?" "Yes, there is something else. What should I call you now? Why are you only now showing yourself again? And why is Merlin following your orders?" She shouted the last question straight out. Well, she could bear being withheld certain IMPORTANT information. Freya also accepted that a potential opponent knew more than she did, but what she couldn't stand was the fact that one of her own
